: sash would possess many valuablev `features.

A sash of this character should be vertically movable within the frame, should be capable of operation with the ordinarily employed frames, should be readily removed and replaced, shouldbe simple of operation, economic of construction and free from possible liability in inoperativeness, l

rIhe device of my invention possesses all of the above-mentioned, and. other, valuable attributes as will be evident from a consider; ation of my specification and its accompanying drawings. Y

i andthe fasteners 21 and22 are withdrawn,

thus freeing the sash from the frame; rlhe sash can then be entirely withdravi/1nfrom the frame, and the sash weight will draw Athe Afastening member upwardlyuntil it con# fr tacts withthe pin 41; 'In order to Lfacilitate the;wash 'ngoperationy of the outer face of the glass carried by the sash,the hooks 39 and40 20 are inserted beneath the platesjf-37fand 38, p y

thus. suspending the' sash, .and as there is only YVsash weight operating,that-is,the one carried bythe cord 35,'there-,will-be no excessive upward `pull upon lthe sash, 'and it can be n readily manipulated; The dot-and-jdash lines in;y the. drawings show. the positionY of the sash in its several withdrawal positions, and
